What is the osmolarity of the urine in the cortex?(a) 300 mOsmol/L(b) 600 mOsmol/L(c) 900 mOsmol/L(d) 1200 mOsmol/LThis question was addressed to me in an internship interview.My question is from Mechanism of Concentration of the Filtrate in chapter Excretory Products and Elimination of Biology – Class 11

Answer»

Correct option is (a) 300 mOsmol/L

Explanation: The osmolarity of the filtrate in the cortex is about 300 mOsmol/L while in the inner MEDULLA it is 1200 mOsmol/L. In the inner medulla, urine is four TIMES more CONCENTRATED than the initial filtrate.
